Multiple Causes:
It could be nothing besides normal reaction to exercise. It is a good thought about asthma, but see a doctor for questioning and exam. These are not specific symptoms of anything serious, except the asthma idea should be checked.

Influenza:
Sounds like you have an acute respiratory infection making your asthma worse. If you have an asthma treatment plan this is the point where you shift into the yellow zone using bronchodilators to relieve asthma symptoms & increasing the dose of controller medications. Get some fluids & Ibuprofen on board, call in sick, get plenty of rest, and if things are not stabilizing call or see your doctor.

Wish I could:
But we have little data. Up until now, e-cigarettes have not been regulated by the food and drug administration (regulations have been proposed but not approved). While it is likely that inhaling vaporized nicotine is less harmful than smoking combusted tobacco products, we do not know what the propylene glycol, other ingredients (flavorings, additives, preservatives) are, let alone what they do.

When we stop smoking:
Our lungs are finally able to start cleaning themselves of all the crap we put down there for years. This can result in the development of a severe cough in many people, and coughing can cause pain. However, this is actually a good sign and means that you are starting to heal, and it generally will get better after a few weeks. Try to quit completely and do your lungs/heart a big favor.

Breathing real air:
Congratulations on doing the most important thing that smokers can do for their health! You stopped smoking! i do not hear this complaint often. It might be due to an infection that happened after you quit smoking. If you have a fever or productive cough or wheeze, see your doctor. If not, i'd attribute it to your body's need for the nicotine. I'd also think about nicotine replacement to help.

It's worse:
Cigarette manufacturers have been developing low tar and nicotine brands for more than 1/2 a century. By contrast, mj users want the most potent mj. Mj has tars just like tobacco.

Probably strain:
The pain is probably unrelated to smoking, but DON'T LET THAT INTERFERE WITH YOUR SMOKING CESSATION PLAN!

You can ice the area, & use ibuprofen according to directions. STAY WITH YOUR QUITTING PLAN!

Don't know but:
You should see your doctor and get a complete evaluation, with a full history, physical exam and possibly lab tests and imaging studies. Smoking increases stomach acid, and also reduces the pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter, so people get more reflux and heartburn, but sometimes abdominal pain. This is especially true if you drink alcohol as well.

Yes:
Cigarette smoke stops the hair cells lining your bronchial passages from working, and when you stop smoking they begin to work again and move up all the mucus and crud in the mucus that smoking has put there. This can increase cough and production of dark phlegm but is a sign your lungs are starting to heal. It lasts for several weeks, but eventually improves. Congrats on quitting. Stay quit!
